Competition possibly coming soon for YouTube

[sdef]

I have not been receiving email notifications of additional comments for most threads I am subscribed to for quite some time so most likely will not receive any notifications for this one either. Just an FYI if anyone expects a response from me as I do not live on the web sites/forums I am a member of.

My understanding is the person who is starting the following web site had over 1700 of his videos dropped from YouTube and this is his response:

A new YouTube alternative launches this July, welcome inspiring ideas and free speech that matters.

I'm all for it, but to compete with youtube will be hard there's just so much on it, anything from fixing toasters to fixing everything, 4 wheeling, tractors, old trucks, old everything, sawmills and chainsaws to coffee makers............. and then after watching all that I can listen to some of my favorite forgotten songs.

I can listen to some of my favorite forgotten songs

And that's my primary use for You Tube; to listen to the old gospel male quartets, especially from the 1950s and '60s.

I would drop YouTube like a hot potato if there was any viable alternative.

I wish him luck, but he's very late to the party. Tough to compete with Google...

This guy is not very happy now with youtube either... My Freedom Of Speech Has Been Violated! - YouTube

Others have noticed the propensity also.

PragerU Sues YouTube For Discriminating Against Conservative Videos

Not everyone uses Youtube as their audience generator. My firearm training company WILL eventually be censored by Youtube. In the meantime, we are looking for other places to host videos so we can send our network the links.

("PragerU痴 argument rests on the idea that modern social media behemoths constitute the digital equivalent of today痴 public square. Thus, their users must be provided the same free speech protections in cyberspace as in the town green. The suit reads in part")<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<Thats what my thinking is, therefore if Gaagle/Yubyub is not upholding the first amendment to me that's a form of treason and must be dealt with. The First Amendment is not just for the liberal socialist democrats yuppys and puppys.

I disagree. These are companys... owned by citizens. They should be ran however they choose to run.

I don't LIKE IT AT ALL... but I don't want them coming to me and telling me I have to do business how THEY want me to either.

The real issue is competition. We need competition and support of competition. If its not there, we need to support those trying to get it there. Of all the things on the internet, I think the one I use the most is YouTube. I use it to learn almost everything I need... or learn how NOT to do something, which is equally important. I don't like that they take sides against alternatives, but on the other hand, there is a lot of bogus crap out there, that if spread, would only cause people harm. Not allowing it on their website is definitely within their rights.

I support YouTube's Right to allow the content they choose. I don't LIKE alot of how they implement it... but neither do I like alot of things that are said in the paper, TV, etc. But I support their Right to say it.
